* ''[[South Park]]'' does this one a lot, for satirical purposes:
** "Here Comes The Neighborhood" was devoted to the town's reaction when Token Black, the only ''rich'' kid in town, convinces a number of other ''rich'' families (such as those of Will Smith and Oprah) to move to South Park. The locals get upset, and try progressively more extreme plots to drive the "richers" out of town: burning giant lowercase letter Ts on their lawns (short for "'''t'''ime to leave"), dressing as peak-headed ghosts (because rich people are scared of [[Scooby -Doo Hoax|ghosts]], naturally), etc. This was all a plan by Mister Garrison to take over their property and sell it to make the South Park residents rich, which fell through because the others hated rich folk... to which he replies, "Well, at least we got rid of those damn ni--" before being [[Curse Cut Short|cut off by the closing credits]].
** "Best Friends Forever" was a thinly veiled satire of the media hooplah over the Terri Schiavo case, with a battle against [[The Legions of Hell]] thrown in for good measure.
** "Jared Has Aides", in which the mistaken phrase should be obvious.
Line 48:
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' played a candy addiction as a drug addiction (even going as far as hiring Mojo Jojo as their "fall guy" to commit some misdeeds to send him to jail so as to be rewarded with said candy).
** [[Erotic Eating|Those sounds they made when eating the candy, AND after, really didn't help.]]
** Mojo Jojo thought he could weaken the girls by taking the candy away from the Mayor and holding it captive, but the [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown|sound beating]] he received really changed that perspective.
* ''[[Futurama]]'' does this a ''lot'':
** "The Route Of All Evil" portrays Bender brewing beer inside himself as awaiting a pregnancy, brought on by Bender realizing that there would be a living thing (yeast) inside him. He even goes so far as to sing lullabies and knit bottle covers. By the end, he's "giving birth" to the beer. Also notable for Fry declaring, "I hope it's a lager, so I can take it to a ballgame."
Line 130:
'''Marie:''' I brought Franks and Cents!<br />
'''Lee:''' And Fur! }}
** Some scenes between Eddy and Edd in [[The Movie]] ( {{spoiler|Eg. Edd questioning Eddy implying that he's impressing his brother, the entire fight after the "sandquick" prank -- Ed's suggestion that the two tickle each other doesn't help}}) just scream... [[UST]]. Hell, {{spoiler|when Eddy broke down after [[Complete Monster|his brother's]] [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]] on him, it sounds like something out of a [[Hurt Comfort Fic]]}}.
*** And let us not forget how {{spoiler|Eddy's big brother asks if Double D is Eddy's ''girlfriend.'' If I recall correctly, this question was posed '''''twice in the movie.'''''}}
* The Sword of Omens in ''[[Thunder Cats]]''. It's a weapon that Lion-O was given when he reached puberty. When he waves it around, it grows longer and longer until, with a great shout of "Ho!", its ''eye opens'' and a white beam shoots out and... oh, I can't go on, I'm disgusting myself.
* In the ''[[Daria]]'' episode ''Jane's Addiction'', Trent agrees to help Daria and Jane with a school project but flakes out on them. At the end of the episode he and Daria have a conversation about how "maye it wasn't such a good idea for [them] to get together...on this".
* In the ''[[Kim Possible]]'' episode "Homecoming Upset", Ron and Bonnie are elected Homecoming King and Queen, and thus are forced to attend a number of public events together. At one of them, Ron is holding a fire hose and Bonnie comes up from behind and surprises him with a hug. The hose picks that exact moment to turn on and [[Something Else Also Rises|shoots water]] all over Kim.
* The trip to [[Make -Out Point|Inspiration Point]] in ''[[Moral Orel (Animation)|Moral Orel]]'', where Orel and his girlfriend go to "pray".
* ''[[Invader Zim]]'''s society is structured around height entirely, to the point that leaders are chosen solely due to being taller than everyone else. This definitely has [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heightism |parallels to real life]].
** Dib using water against Zim in "The Wettening" crosses over into BDSM territory on a few occasions, in particular when he merely opens a tap behind Zim and watches with a growing smirk of satisfaction as he twitches and shudders with every drop that hits the sink. In the same episode, Zim covers himself completely with paste, white and sticky paste.
** Dib's domination tendencies don't end there, however. In the first episode, having just met Zim, Dib decides the most appropriate course of action is to handcuff him. With handcuffs that, in his words, render aliens "completely helpless". Handcuffs that he was carrying with him for the slight possibility that he might encounter an alien.
Line 146:
** In "Larry Upgrade," Tuddrussell and Larry argue like a married couple (but not before sending Otto out to play).
** Then, there's the "break-up" between Lewis and Clark on "Lewis and Clark and Larry," along with Clark getting jealous that Lewis "went exploring" with Larry.
** "Ex Marks the Spot" -- '''''Everything''''' about this episode screamed, "Yes, this show has [[Ho Yay]]!" Some memorable moments include: Larry being super-nice to Tuddrussell (to the point that it becomes [[Did You Just Have Sex?]]-type behavior; further proven by the [[Visual Innuendo]] of Larry filling a turkey with gravy by shoving a funnel into the turkey and pouring the gravy in until the turkey looked like it would explode, then topping the turkey off with a cherry that sinks into the gravy, never to be seen again), then acting like a [[Clingy Jealous Girl|clingy jealous fembot]] when Tuddrussell and Sheila (his ex-wife, as revealed in "Kubla Khan't.") look as if they're going to get back together, and the icing on the cake: the ending with {{spoiler|Larry being so upset and angry that he overreacted to the whole thing that he tells Tuddrussell that he's sleeping on the sofa tonight}}. The kicker to all of this is that it's all played [[A Worldwide Punomenon|straight]]. If this episode doesn't convince you that the show is fueled on [[Ho Yay]], then nothing will.
** A rare example that has nothing to do with the homosexual undertone of the show occurs in "Child's Play," where Shakespeare gets into creative differences between his agent (who wants him to do kids' plays for merchandise) and Larry (who acts as a [[Moral Guardian]] and keeps objecting to the plays' content). Considering how short-lived "Time Squad" was, one has to wonder if this wasn't Dave Wasson (the show creator) speaking out against the creative output of his show or if this was merely a satire on the mediocre quality of current kids' TV programming and movies due to greed and [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]].
** Another non-homosexual example: the two times Larry has acted drunk (in "Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake," where his [[Non Sequitur Thud]] after being beaten by angry townspeople is "I'm okay to drive. Just help me to the car." and in "Pasteur Packs O'Punch where Larry experiences wild mood swings after being electrocuted, where he drunkenly tells Tuddrussell that he loves him, offers to drive despite being in no condition to operate anything, telling off Otto with a slurred, "Hey, don't tell me what to do!", and embarrassing himself at a party by standing on a table and declaring himself, "The Queen of France").
